Friday Fun - Crazy Requests From Parents

[Soccermom]

I had a DCM come in the first day with a small cooler. She kept signaling for me to come down the stairs after DCB (5 years old) went into the playroom. I went down and she opened the little cooler....there were 4 baby bottles in there full of milk. DCM told me they were for DCB and if he was feeling scared, lonely, worried or shy that I should lie him down and give him one.
WHAT??! Um....No!
My then 1 year old didn't even still take a bottle, no way was I gonna give a baby bottle to a 5 year old!!
I told her to take her cooler home and that if DCB was feeling any of these things, we would address it with words and snuggles.

I had a parent ask me to not use a purple bottle on her son. I replied, "As soon as you stop bringing the formula in a purple container."

(I match the my bottles to the parent's formula containers so I don't get them mixed up on who gets what.)

DCM brought in a potty chair, telling me to potty train her son that was in my care 10 hours a week. Told me to clean the potty chair, as she had just picked it up from someone. It had dried poop in it.

She told me she was bringing him for a free lunch and asked if I could make extra so she could eat.

the same mom asked if I could put cayenne pepper or hot sauce in his mouth when he bit. She was termed. This all took place in 2 days.

A different mom asked if I could spank her kids, and not make them nap.

Another wanted me to only serve chicken nuggets or hamburger helper. um, no.
